Reception
Moving Picture World gave the film a positive review, praising performances of the DeHaven couple while criticizing some of scenes, claiming they were questioning the "probability of the action of the students in trying to soften the blows of masculine football by substituting the antics of sissies" and that were known in previous occasions to make the "unskillful laugh".[4]
